In this video I give a list of items I feel every children's book illustrator should have in their portfolio. Art Directors and Editors are afraid to hire the wrong artist so make sure you're covering all the most important items. If you can think like an editor you'll be much more equipped to show them what they want to see.
Excellent. Thanks Will!
ReplyDeleteThanks Will for your comments on this. I struggle with what I LOVE to create most vs what is popular with ADs/Editors.
ReplyDeleteBut I guess that is what makes being a freelance illustrator fun, always on our toes. ;)
Nice comprehensive list! There are some really good ideas I hadn't ever thought of, but that make complete sense. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteVery helpful, thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteI have only recently found your blog, I'm surprised I haven't run across it before! Thank you for putting content like this on the web. You're a real inspiration to the illustration community.
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie - I've fallen in love with technology...when it works :)
ReplyDeleteVery good tips. Just wanted to know if I am drawing some figures what should be there in the background? Should the background be like a real picture with landscape or inside a house or anywhere they are positioned.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, thanks a millio to share this info.
